📌“I can’t. Don’t you get it? I can’t. I can’t. Admit the words. I can’t tell you because I can’t take them back if I do.” 

📌“Love doesn’t come with conditions.”

I don’t know what it is about grumpy single dad MMCs but it sure is something. Throw in a little bit of age gap, an amazing family and a nosy small town and you get the recipe for a Jess-book. Yup, I will unapologetically devour it in almost one sitting. I don’t make the rules. 

Help Me Remember was my first Corinne Michaels. It’s also one of my all time favorites romantic suspense books. But the Whitlocks might just still my heart because between these three brothers and sister… I think I stand no chance 👀🤌🏼

I also should say that Corinne Michaels got me. Got me so good. I did NOT see that coming. Twice 😱 And I once guessed the plot twist of a very popular thriller just by reading the blurb so yeah, I can’t say it’s easy to catch me unaware 👀

My heart is so full right now. 
My heart is all sunshine. 
My heart is content. 

This was what I needed, when I needed it.
